British fondness for territory is illusrated very fjraphically in a wcll-known )ocket atlas published by an English firm. British possessions are all printed in a brilliant shade of red, but the world is a large place, and even the numerous colonies of the little isle f ail to make as great a show as was desired, so Grant Land, the gTeat continent of rock and ice lying north of the arctic circle, and Graham Land, a similar tract south of the antarctic circle, were also printed in a rosy hue. These desolate wastes are undefined and unexplored, and of about as much use as the milky way. Certainly no nation will dispute Brittania's right to paint them red If she wants to.
